Thanks tdog02, I've been slowing down recently but I still have a few more planned. I will Probably still be modding this truck on the day I carry it back to trade it in, there are so many possibilities now that couldn't be done on previous generations lol

Things have been slow in the mod department recently...I've been dragging my feet on ordering parts.
I did go on a road trip with my wife today to the NC Transportation Museum (all of that Interstate driving reminded me how badly I want to install the Adaptive Cruise Control!)
I know some don't give the truck's fuel MPG display much faith but its good enough for me... I fueled up & reset the trip meter before leaving out this morning (23 Gal tank)... I traveled 95% Interstate both directions cruise control set at 76 MPH
Here was the results when I backed into my parking spot this afternoon
BTW: they did have a few cool Fords on display:
Not a truck ...but it is a cool Original NC Highway Patrol car

Mileage seems about right, if a bit optimistic. I ran around 400 miles round trip in a day earlier this month & was showing about the same.

Yeah, I'm going to enjoy it while I can - I want to get some OEM PVD 20's & I know I'll take a small hit when I do that...

Well I officially have the next mod on the way.... I will be upgrading from SYNC 2 to SYNC 3.
I blame several people for this modification:
1) My wife for buying a new Kia (of all things) with a better infotainment system than my own!
2) @Livnitup for showing a picture of the SYNC 3 that looks similar to the above mentioned system
3) @carrierj for mentioning that he had swapped to the newer system with great pleasure
4) @TexasFording for having a system so readily available at a good price!
So... to everyone listed above, I (but not my wallet) thank you
BTW: Keep an eye out in the sales section, you will probably see a SYNC 2 for sale very soon!
